A regular foot will work for straight line quilting if the batt isn't too thick. You might have a bit of shifting but if you work from the center of the quilt out, any shifting will travel to the edges.
A FMQ foot is the foot with a little spring in it. It is commonly referred to as darning or mending foot with older machines. If you have not tried Fmqing yet, you will need to practice before trying it on your quilt. A good site for seeing Fmqing in action is Leah Day's site http://www.freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/
